COMBINED SASH AND BELT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 428,793, dated May 27,1890.

Application filed March 8, 1890. Serial No. 343,134. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, GEORGE E. Z'ELTMAOHER, of the city, county, andState of New York, a citizen of the United States, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Combined Sashes and Belts, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to a combined sash and belt of that class whichis used by men and boys in the summer season for concealing thewaistband of the pantaloons, the same being also applicable for ladiesuse, as it can be made up in different colors, so as to match the colorof the dresses.

In the accompanyingdrawings,Figure1represents a perspective view of myimproved combination sash and belt. Fig. 2 is a front view of the samestretched to its full length; and Fig. 3 is a vertical transversesection on the line 2 2, Fig. 2.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the wider sash portion of myimproved combination sash and belt. The sash portion A is formed of apiece of textile fabric, of any suitable color, which is provided with alongi tudinal plait a, that is secured by a line of stitches runningthrough the plaited portion, as shown in Fig. To the plaited front partof the sash portion A'is applied a suitable lining B and an intermediatefilling C, which impart the required degree of strength and stiffness tothe sash and belt. The sash portion A is provided at both ends withnarrower extensions D D, constituting belt pieces, which are madeintegral with the plaited sash portion and its backing, one of saidbeltpieces being of sufficient length, so that the same can be doubledup and adjusted to the required size of waist by a loop-buckle d, or inany other approved manner. To the ends of the extensions are applied thefastening devices 6 c, by which the belt is applied to and retainedaround the waist.

By making the sash portion in one integral piece with the narrowerbelt-pieces a combined sash and belt is obtained, which has a neatappearance and sufficient strength to prevent tearing, and in which thelongitudinal plait of the sash portion is always retained in positionbecause of the line-connecting stitches, said plait imparting additionalstrength and a certain degree of fullness and ornamental appearance tothe sash portion, while the fastening devices facilitate the use of thesame when applying or removing it, so that the combined sash and belthas a neat and finished appearance when worn on the waist by males orfemales.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- A combined sash and belt consisting of a wide centralsash portion and narrower end extensions constituting belt ends integralwith the sash portion, said belt ends being provided with abelt-fastener, and said sash portion being composed of two layers offabric and an intermediate filling, one of said to the other layer andfilling, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

GEORGE E. ZELTMACHER.
